We all know the standard breakfast of bacon and eggs, but frankly, sometimes that can get a little boring. So why not change up the game a little and give this veggie, garlic and herb frittata by Staci a try? Full of fresh, colourful vegetables and herbs, it might just be your new go-to for a quick weeknight meal, or even a breakfast on the go.
Veggie, Garlic & Herb Frittata
Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 eggs
2 tbsp. coconut milk
3 tbsp. coconut oil
1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1/2” cubes
6 baby bella mushrooms, cut in half
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/8 red onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
5 large fresh basil leaves
1/2 avocado, sliced
Salt & pepper, to taste
Hot sauce salsa (optional)
How to:
- Heat a large cast iron pan on medium-low and melt 2 Tbsps of coconut oil. Add ¼ tsp of salt and stir. Add the sweet potato, stir and cook (covered) for 5 minutes on low heat. Stir occasionally so that the potato doesn’t burn.
- Add mushrooms (flat side down), onion, tomato, and a pinch more salt. Cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Add garlic to the and stir. Cook for 1 minute.
- Meanwhile, whip the eggs with coconut milk for about 30 seconds, until they are well incorporated.
- Add the remaining coconut oil to the pan and shake it a bit so that the bottom of the pan is coated with the oil. Pour the eggs over the veggie mix and let all cook for 1 minute. Stir the mixture gently so that the runny parts get a chance to hit the pan. All should be evenly distributed and the frittata mixture should fill the entire pan.
- Add basil leaves over the frittata, cover and cook for 7-10 minutes on low, until the eggs have fluffed up and the runny parts have been cooked through.
- Remove the frittata from the heat and let sit for 2 minutes before serving.
